Question 1

Is it legal to play online poker in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

In February 2015, the Remote Gambling Act of 2014 was enacted banning all online gambling, including online poker sites. The fine for playing online was stipulated at SGD$5,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 6 months. For operators, the Act made it more stringent – operators caught accepting Singaporean players in their site would have a penalty of not less than SG$20,000 and not more than SG$500,000 and/or imprisonment not exceeding 7 years. As a result, the country is actively blocking different sites that offer gambling services, and no poker websites are licensed in Singapore. However, major poker sites are still accepting Singaporean players. Several poker applications are also offering access to private online games. Some of these private clubs are running games in Singapore Dollars.

Question 2

What are the best sites to play online poker in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Players are looking for different experiences. Some will favor great software over softer games. Cash Games players and tournaments players also have different needs. Moreover, in order to be able to maximize all promotions offered by the different sites, players must be willing to open an account on several clients. For all of these reasons recommending only one site would be a mistake. We prefer to list the pros and cons of each option currently available to players from Singapore in this article.

Question 3

How to deposit and withdraw on a poker site from Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Few poker sites are not directly accepting payments from Singapore but players are getting helped by agents to process the transaction they need. By going through middle men to handle the process, these transactions are far from being an ideal solution.
